About Catherine Choco

Why Belgium?

I have been living in Belgium for almost nine years. Many people ask me why I chose to stay in Belgium, and I always smile and say, "Because of the chocolate." It's true, I must emphasize, it really is true!

Belgian chocolate is simply irresistible, and along with the multilingual environment, delicious fruit beers, and the advantageous geographical location, I've ended up living here for almost nine years.

Belgium is a very unique place, blending various cultures and languages. Whether it's French, Dutch, or German, each language has its own charm and difficulties.

Moreover, Belgium's geographical location is incredibly convenient, making it easy to travel to neighboring European countries or explore local towns. These advantages have made my life here full of rich experiences and fun.

Why Belgium Insider?

As I have spent more time here, I have also begun helping some newcomers to Belgium by answering their questions and sharing my experiences. I found that many people who have just arrived here have numerous questions about cultural differences, language, local administration and daily life , and I, myself went through a similar process, so I am very willing to help them.

So, I decided to start the "Belgium Insider" blog, hoping to use this platform to help more people understand Belgium and discover its unique charm. Not only do I share some practical life tips, but I also introduce Belgian culture, customs, and even some lesser-known stories, so that everyone can get a deeper understanding of this fascinating country.
